Overall, his pressure isn’t nearly as suffocating and straightforward in this game. This means he has to earn his pressure, not just dash up and YOLO into a high/low mix with the clone to bail him out.

In fact, his ONLY overhead starter is his slow-as-molasses F3 bounce move that every character gets. Poor ol’ Subby no longer has his easy-peasy launching overhead. The biggest change to Sub-Zero in Injustice 2 lies not in his special moves, but in his normals. And nobody has any reason to do anything but block low against Sub-Zero. As you might expect, it grabs blocking opponents, but as a bonus, you can spend some meter to freeze them for a juicy follow-up. Rounding out his default kit, he also has a command grab. Again, a little more nuance than the Sub I came to know and hate.

This can be both a cheeky way to send a foe toppling directly on top of an ice clone (yay!), or give them a free ticket out of the corner if you use it carelessly (boo!). On hit, the slip flips the opponent over Sub’s head. Sub-Zero has his signature slide which is annoying as ever, but like his other classic specials, it’s received a cute little twist. He feels very at home with the rest of the cast.

This makes it so Sub needs to spend resources like every other character to extend his combos or trade projectiles for a full combo. His ice ball is back of course, only in this iteration, he needs to spend meter to make it freeze the opponent. It turns the clone into a resource that Sub-Zero players need to actively manage, not just end every block string with – smart. In Injustice 2, the clone is actually his trait power, which makes it super easy to activate, but also ties it to a short cool-down timer. The ice clone is certainly a huge part of Subby’s game, but unlike MKX, it isn’t just a regular special move he can pop out whenever he likes. Thankfully, a few clever design cues solved those issues before they even happened. I didn’t relish the idea of a character that could convert a single projectile hit into a full-combo either. In a game where so many matches can already turn into a deadlock of full-screen zoning, I worried that Subs and his clones would slow things down even further. I had a lot of fears about Sub-Zero coming into Injustice 2. He’s also a lot more fun, both to play as and against. He’s a smarter, more nuanced version of Sub-Zero than we’ve become accustomed to. Sub-Zero in Injustice isn’t quite the nerd-lockering bully that once terrorized Ranked matches in MKX. One look at his reveal trailer for Injustice 2 and I could already feel my blood boiling. He was a sadist, a bully who would trap you in the corner and keep you there, defending against a ridiculous blitz of high and low attacks until you, inevitably, got opened up. His combination of clones and unrelenting pressure made him a nightmare to deal with in MKX. How he’ll be received, and how he’ll stack up against the likes of Aquaman, Batman, and the rest of the DCU remains to be seen.I hated Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat X and dreaded his arrival in Injustice 2. With Ed Boon at the helm, his appearance in Injustice 2 was kind of inevitable.

He’s the only combatant who has appeared in every main series release, and is close to NetherRealm’s heart as a result. There are players in the Mortal Kombat community who will instantly back out of a game if they see the opponent choose the Cryomancer, and that probably tells you all you need to know.Īs much of a pain in the ass as he may be, the Lin Kuei leader is a huge deal in the Mortal Kombat world. Playing against him can be a real nightmare, regardless of your experience with his zoning, ice clones, projectiles and all the other unique abilities that make him tick. The fighting genre is full of real love-them-or-hate-them characters, and nobody quite defines that polarity like Sub-Zero. PREVIOUSLY: THE MOST GRUESOME MORTAL KOMBAT FATALITIES
